Iranian qari Ahmad AbolGhasemi visited Kenya during the 2025 holy Month of Ramadhan to recite the holy Quran in a number of mosques in Nairobi like Makina Mosque in Kibra, Bulbul Mosque, Jaffery Shia Itha Ashari Mosque, Masjid Imtiaz, in the town centre of Nairobi and in several Mosques in Mombasa as well as Iqra radio, Mahdi TV and KBC TV, the National Broadcasting channel in Kenya.

He also serve as a judge in a Quran competition that was organized by the Supreme Council of Muslims in Mombasa.

Qorban Ali Pourmarjan, Iran’s Cultural Counselor in Nairobi, in one of the Program, addressed the audience, saying that the Holy Quran is always significant for Muslims, but during the blessed month of Ramadan, which is the month of divine hospitality, it takes on central importance.

“Reading the Quran, listening to it, and acting upon its teachings should be our top priority (in this month),” he said.

The Quran should not be neglected in Muslim families and the Islamic community, as it is a divine book and one of the two trusts (the Quran and Etrat) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) left for Muslims after him as a legacy, he stated.

Pourmarjan went on to say that Muslims must strive to benefit from the teachings of both the divine book and Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) as both are effective together and complement and interpret each other.
